Artist:Seal
Song:Kiss From A Rose
There used to be a graying time all alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remains a drug gets me high, that's how I feel
Did you know that when it snows my eyes become enlarged
And the light that you shine can be seen
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
The more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the Grey
There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?
But did you know that when it snows, my eyes become enlarged
And the light that you shine can be seen
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey, I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey (If I should fall...)
There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby
But did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become enlarged
And the light that you shine can be seen
Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grey
歌手介紹:
Seal全名Seal Henry Samuel,于
Seal并不是一名少年成名的藝術家,在大學畢業(yè)獲得建筑專業(yè)的學位以后,他在倫敦先后找了許多不同的工作,包括電力工程師和皮裝設計師等等。
而他的音樂歷程也是十分曲折的,最初他只是在英國的酒吧內(nèi)唱歌,后來加入了英國的一支瘋克(Funk)樂隊Push。80年代中后期,在樂隊的亞洲巡回演唱會結(jié)束以后,他又加盟了泰國的一支樂隊。
然而在泰國的日子并不太久,離開泰國并且經(jīng)過了印度之旅以后,Seal又回到了英國。
不久,Seal結(jié)識了音樂制作人Adamski,Seal的嗓音和演唱功力很快震動了Adamski。1990年,在Adamski的協(xié)助下,Seal發(fā)行了一張EP唱片《Killer》,這張專輯很快在英國成為了排行榜冠軍,這張EP專輯的成功,為Seal帶來了一份自己的合同。
他的首張正式專輯《Seal(1991)》在1991年6月11日發(fā)行,擔任制作人的是曾經(jīng)為Frankie Goes to Hollywood樂隊制作專輯的前the Buggles樂隊成員Trevor Horn。
這張專輯中誕生了許多首非常優(yōu)秀的單曲,無論在英國還是在美國都獲得了相當大程度的成功,專輯總銷量超過了三百萬張。在專輯發(fā)行之后他又參加了向吉他之神Jimi Hendrix獻禮的專輯《Stone Free》的錄制。
1994年他的第二張專輯繼續(xù)以"Seal"命名,稱作《Seal(1994)》。這是Seal最為成功的專輯,其中的單曲《Kiss From a Rose》不僅入選了電影《永遠的蝙蝠俠(Batman Forever)》的原聲大碟,更重要的是為他在1995年度第38屆格萊美獎中贏得了年度最佳唱片(Record Of The Year),年度最佳歌曲(Song Of The Year),最佳流行男歌手(Best Male Pop Vocal Performance)三尊分量十足的獎杯。
這也是目前為止,Seal在格來美獎評選中僅有的斬獲。而這張專輯也一直是熱銷的多白金專輯。
1998年,Seal又發(fā)行了自己的第三張專輯這次他把專輯名字改了,叫做《Human Being》,同樣這張專輯也賣出了400多萬張。
